DIY - Photography Art Coasters



























The theme throughout my apartment is black and white with accents of colors. I have florally damask style rugs and lamp. In additional, the photos over my bed are of a sunflower. I thought these elements would be nice to bring into the living area a little more and decided coasters were the way to go. I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and found some nice glass photo coasters for around $5.
















I went through my photography and pictured out 4 pictures that I thought would work well. I used iPhoto to turn the to black and white and played with the levels tool under I achieved the contrast I was looking for. If you are not the photography expert you would like to be, there are image searches that can be done online. It is such a small image, shouldn't have issues with printing resolutions. I had the photos printed at target for $0.25. So the whole project only cost me about $6.

















I measure the coaster slots and cut the pictures accordingly.



















Next, slide the pictures into the coasters and wah-la, photography art coasters!

















Simple, easy and a touch of personalization to your living room.
